What do you think? Do you like the Deception TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

I love love love this show. There is such good writing on this show. I really hope the network keeps it. The suspense is amazing. I hope they get renewed. Their writing is better than over half of the shows out there!

Deception is a GREAT SHOW!!! I love the twists the show has and how you can’t tell who should be trusted or who is good or who is evil. I love it and please don’t cancel it. I tape it every week so I don’t miss any episodes and can fast through the ads.

This sucks. Just when I get into a show, then the ******* networks want to cancel it because the ratings are low. Start streaming your shows on youtube and you will really see how many people watch your shows. Furthermore, stop blocking your network websites for other countries. What I visit my family in Ghana and I want to watch my shows? I won’t be able to because NBC is blocked there.
